Has a copyright mark from 1900, the photo should be a bit older than that.

A sign on the first building reads Yusen Kaisha Steam Ship Co. In the 1920s, they were in King's Building, not sure what this one is.

Comments

The tall building in the centre is the north wing of the Hong Kong Hotel, which means the road is Des Voeux Road in Central. The building on the right in the distance is one of the early buildings to go up on this part of the reclamation.
